Document Summary

Single and double quotes are equivalent except for strings that contain quotes. The shortest string is the empty string, containing no characters at all. Len - returns the number of characters between the opening and closing quotes. We can add 2 strings using + operator. The concatenation operator mist be applied with 2 strings. If you want to join a string with a number, function str can be applied to the number to get a string representation of it, and then concatenation can be done: Four score and" + str(7) + years ago". >>>four score and 7 years ago: you can also multiply strings. Strings are values, so you can assign a string to a variable. Suppose you want to put a single quote inside a string - use double quotations to avoid error that may result from that"s, let"s, etc. If you need tp put a double quote in a string.
